EL Power EPC

My car died. It shows a message on display "El Power EPC". The starting engine runs but the car doesn't go on.. it seems there's no fuel on it...

Does anyone know what the EPC error is?

Your car is not available in the US. Therefore you could quite possibly have codes never seen overhere. Try a forum in your home country instead for best results.

It was the fuel pump that did not work as it should.

Thank you for your replies.

I had a similiar problem, but the car runned, I had a fuel leak from the fuel pump, and I didn't know, only made a noise on cold starts
The fuel pump for the CDI is €€€€€€, I had luck, it was on warranty or else 1000€
